I have been encouraged to see the kind of commitment that President Trump has had on following through on the promises he made the American People. Getting our economy back on track. Getting rid of regulations that are killing jobs in america. If you look at what has already happened, and we are already not on day 100.

Overlook at the economy, 500,000 new jobs have been created in this first 100 days.

Also working with our allies. You talk to nato allies, like the speaker went to meet with nato allies. President trump has encouraged our nato allies to get up to the 2 level of gdp spending, so not could to reading to nato but so are the countries in europe. They have done that. They have actually responded to you or seek positive results there too. You see a more cohesive working with our allies and following through on promises. We will continue working with this president to get america moving again. Always important to spend time in your district listening to people and hearing their concerns. It was great to hear have an extended time to do that. People do want to see results. They see this as an exciting opportunity to rethink this government from top to bottom. They also recognize that we must get the economy going. We must create jobs. We must unleash innovation in this country. They are very pleased to see that we are rolling back the Regulatory Burden that has been suffocating our economy. As i listened and traveled around Eastern Washington i had conversations with me talking to farmers, infrastructure, health care. People see this as an opportunity to think big, get the results, and i come back reenergize because of that. Im committed to making a difference for them using this as an opportunity to really do the big things that people want to see us get done. Anybody have any questions . Reporter two questions. Reconciliation for Health Care Reform . The choice act . Fit in theat priorities . Reconciliation is regular order. That is the regular budgeting process. We want to look at every avenue, but we think reconciliation is the preferred process. That is the most logical process to bring tax reform through. The chairman is marking it up. Once we mark up a bill we month to move it to the floor as quickly as possible. Houseer is the white overstepping their bounds on tax reform . Not at all. Reporter is that partly because of the failure of health care . This is something we have been talking with them about all along. Work with them regularly to make sure we get a bill and give us unified. We have been briefed on what they are going to do. It is along the same lines we want to go. Progress is being made showing that we are moving and getting on the same page. Progress [laughter] we see this as a good thing. Reporter does the macarthur admin amendment get you two to 16. 216. Oftom macarthur has a lot experience in insurance the macarthur amendment is a lot better way to lower premiums while protecting people with preexisting conditions. Obamacare is collapsing and people are getting hit with doubledigit premium increases. Whatever we can do to get those premiums down and also make sure the guarantee for people with preexisting conditions get net. We had a high risk pool and wisconsin. They had a risk share pool in maine at work well. We want to give the states the ability to customize their reforms to lower premiums and protect people with preexisting conditions. That is at the heart of this amendment. Reporter how close are you to finishing this . We are down to the last final things. We are making really good progress. We are very close on everything else. Now it is getting down to the final details. We want to get this done on time. That is our plan. Thanks, everybody. We will see. We will vote on it when we get the votes. Thank you.
